MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia introduced an export duty on wheat in February 2015 to stabilize the situation on the internal grain market.
The latest duty, which has been in effect from October 1, 2015, amounted to 50 percent of the customs value minus 6,500 rubles (about $100 at the current exchange rate) per metric ton, but not less than 10 rubles per metric ton.
